Brian, you ARE being harsh. LogMeIn.com is http-based and allows me to remote control my home PC through 99% of the firewalls I've ever been around (my current employer excepted). It works like a charm.

Don't knock what you don't know. VNC and remote desktops work great but I can't use them to cross over most firewalls. LogMeIn is FREE for desktops and works like a freaking charm. It has saved my digital bacon hundreds of times.

Plus I can have any Tom, Diane or Harry create a new LogMeIn free account when they need help (we tech people so often get requests from family and friends), and I can remote-control their systems without them knowing a damned thing.

You are all bent out of shape and you don't even know how well it works!

Harsh? Not in the least! I believe it’s pointless to take 2 steps when 1 is all you need.

“WORTHLESS!!! :) Why waste money on an application that requires ANOTHER application to be installed on your desktop? ”

That is EXTREMELY harsh! You have to remember that LogMeIn has a large network of users and Tech Support evangelists. The program, while I question how stable and dependable it can run on an iPhone, is very much worth the money and I am willing to bet that a lot of people who use it think that 30 dollars is a steal!

Ok it will never cease to amaze me how people are willing to pay serious money for something that is already included NATIVE in XP and OSX!!!

You’re opening up your systems to a 3rd party, people… NOT a good idea!

This exact same list of features and technology can be implemented at your institution for… get ready for this… FREE!!! Do your research. :P

Wow, LogMeIn really knows how to get ppl mad -) I had to cancel my LMI Rescue subscription because it was just too overpriced, even though it’s probably the most feature-loaded solution out there. I switched to Techinline (http://www.techinline.com) which is literally a fraction of the price (although not as feature-loaded) and is more than enough for me to support my customers. Is LMI ever going to release anything for the SMB market or do the do everything just to solidify coverage?

WORTHLESS!!! :) Why waste money on an application that requires ANOTHER application to be installed on your desktop? That’s one more block between your iPhone and the desktop, thus slower speeds! If you’re going to spend that kind of money, download Jaadu RDP and VNC. RDP for the PC which is completely native and requires no additional software on the PC and VNC for the Mac which is also native! Also… if I read the developer’s description properly… this app also has an annual subscription cost for added features. Again… worthless! Jaadu works perfectly, seamlessly, and has an excellent user interface! Best of all… the connection speed is only limited to your wireless connection. It is also more secure… anything and I mean ANYTHING that goes through an “internet” service is NOT anymore secure than a direct connection. In fact that just adds another breach point and puts your security in the hands of someone you can’t see. :P

Companies like this are only taking advantage of the end-user ignorance factor when most of this technology can be set up for free and far more secure than they could ever offer!
